Crazy Horse

The careers of Neil Young
and backing band Crazy Horse (Columbus, Georgia) are closely intertwined. The
rockers of Crazy Horse have been running alongside Neil Young for as many as
four decades - albeit with sometimes long interruptions and in varying
formations. The band also recorded a handful of albums under their own name.

Thasúnke Witkó (translated: 'his horse is possessed’), better known as Crazy
Horse (1840-1877), was the famous Chief of the Oglala Lakota Indians who
violently but vainly rose up to the US Government, trying to preserve the
ancient traditions and customs of his tribe for posterity. He died in
captivity.
